OSTI ID:5903261

The study indicates that there are no existing building and mechanical codes and standards that would greatly impede the development and commercialization of the Battelle Absorption Heat Pump (BAHP) when used for residential and/or light commercial applications. Summary tables of applicable existing codes and standards cover design materials, design pressures, pressure relief, refrigerant discharge, discharge capacity, other design criteria, installation, and pressure vessels. Applicable codes are presented in an appendix.
